I stand on a hill and I see red I see my lies across the horizon I see a new day and yet not a new life I see my words of last night hang in the air I feel the cold of last night I feel the need of last night I love your love The sun rises a little more Why can’t I have it’s gentleness Why can’t I have it’s vision Why can’t I have it’s fury Why can’t I have it’s belonging I stand at a valley I remember from a distance Your smile Your warmth Your love I remember my words I remember my lies The kisses frame my shame I wan’t to hide From the sun From my soul From my name From my love From me I stand here with nothing You sleep there with everything I lied to you I misled you I slept with you I used you I disgraced you by making you a fool Why I will face the sun It will scorch me free I will face my future It will blind my past I will face my lies Looking backwards But can I face you Maybe you will understand me before I leave A dog with no tail A cur with no honour A dog to take any bone The sun rises and I look to it’s heart I hope I can take some of it’s fire Before I leave Before I face you I love you And that love means I must leave you |

The pain is clear; it makes me want to know more about the reasons. |

Everone goes where the unknown looks like something you want. A summer day where everything is what you dreamed of. A joy and you know you should not enjoy. Dave |

I'll get into trouble for posting a forth poem, but I will. Dave |

I'll get into trouble for posting a forth poem, but I will and I am still trying to find the poem that makes it worth writing. Dave |
